Mission Statement

The mission of KidsNFilm Multimedia is to support independent youth filmmakers and youth filmmakers of color. To provide a platform for showcasing film screenings, creative video presentations, exhibits of film, and related activities and events. Through narrative and documentary storytelling, we seek to inform and inspire community youth, creating a free educational resource connecting the local youth and community to the world around them. Additionally, we seek to provide insights into regional and global issues, social impact, environment, disability, and the effects of biases, bullying, and racism on our youth. Offering an educational platform for understanding and compassion, coupled with entertaining animated film offerings. While providing youth and minority filmmakers the opportunity to exhibit their films, enrich local area youth, and showcase the diversity of human experience and distinct voices in film and storytelling.

Description

Harnessing the creativity of youth from around the globe, KidsNFilm Multimedia celebrates both youth actors and filmmakers.

The International KidsNFilm Festival o ffers a forum for Young Talents t o Showcase their Work and Creativity.

We welcome fun, positive, entertaining, thought-provoking, and inspirational films, including diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. Films submitted must be for a youth audience and family-friendly. Films are chosen by a jury combined with youth, educators, and filmmakers, rating all entries on entertainment value, originality, acting ability, production value, and the message conveyed.

Selected youth filmmakers and actors from around the globe have the opportunity to have their films screened, connect, and interact with peers in attendance. It is an opportunity to talk about challenges, techniques, goals, or simply the fun experienced during the filmmaking process. We want our film festivals to become every youth's time to shine, inspire, and show off their work, whether in front or behind the camera, to California’s North Bay area community.
